Chapter 626 Soldiers must have the consciousness of soldiers
To put it bluntly, what Ge Zhen needs is not someone, but the power that someone can provide.
He needed Lei Xiao because there was Yan Fenghuo and Mo Gorge Tiger behind Lei Xiao; he needed Xiao Yuanchao because there was a red army behind Xiao Yuanchao; he needed Long Xiaoqi because there was a huge guardian army behind Long Xiaoqi.
He must use all the power, but these powers are not used casually, and must come in handy at the most critical moments.
"If you want to do it, just do a battle that will truly stabilize the country from local to 20 years. We cannot decide the overall situation, but we can deter the local."
This is what Ge Zhen said to Lao Yang and his final thought.
Who can't fight in battle? One is better than the other, and one is better than the other, but what effect can this play?
It has no effect at all. Their identities are professional soldiers, and all the battles they fight cannot determine the trend of the overall situation.
To put it bluntly, they are all small, and even if they do such a big thing, they cannot promote the national strategic process.
Unless it is a large-scale war, for now, large-scale wars will not exist, but only local wars in a certain area of the world.
For example, the Syrian War is a war that has been played against in several aspects, and is the result of the transfer of the core battlefield.
"Uncle Yang, please tell the chief that I will definitely live up to expectations for those I can use."
He is now with Lao Yang, sitting in a restaurant, eating side dishes, drinking wine, and chatting here.
"Yes, there is no problem, but I don't know how the leader decides." Lao Yang took a sip of wine and said to Ge Zhen: "The facts last time were impossible, we did our best."
Last time, Lao Yang brought people to take Ge Zhen back with a black wanted order, but unfortunately it was not reached, and it caused some unnecessary trouble on the issue of extradition between the two countries.
"I know." Ge Zhen took a cigarette and said: "In front of the country and the individual, it is necessary to sacrifice individuals to protect the country, and I am willing to be that victim."
This issue involves issues between countries. Ge Zhen is a professional soldier. When what he does will affect the country's image at the international level and various cooperation issues, then he can be given up.
It sounds cruel, but it's helpless.
For example, if he blows up the Statue of Liberty, will the country come forward to protect him? If he protects it, it will directly trigger a war between countries. A peaceful country would soon enter a period of war.
This is the sacrifice of soldiers. They can not only die for the country at any time, but also may become abandoned soldiers at any time.
"The Chu River and Han dynasties are clearly divided. There are so many pieces on the chess board, and the ones who die first are the pawns." Lao Yang smiled bitterly and said, "Why throw the pawns first? It is to protect the overall situation and for the final victory."
Yes, many people play chess. When playing chess, they don’t care about a few pawns at all. They are eaten to ensure overall deployment and strategy and ensure the final victory of the game.
What would you think if the pawn on the chess board had life?
The so-called soldiers are these little pawns.
"After crossing the river, the pawn will be too sharp to be a stern person." Ge Zhen smiled and said, "Uncle Yang, the pawn can only protect himself and then cross the river."
Lao Yang nodded, his eyes full of admiration.
Soldiers are soldiers, and commanders are coaches. The two are completely different. It is normal to lose soldiers and protect commanders. However, as soldiers, you must have the awareness of soldiers.
To put it more thoroughly, soldiers are the ones who work hard on the front line.
But if a soldier crosses the river, then the soldier will become a soldier who is fighting, and the threat it presents may be much more powerful than that of a cart, cannon and horse.
Therefore, as a small pawn, you must be a river pawn.
Soldiers are soldiers, and pawns. No matter what kind of military rank they wear, they cannot change their essence.
Someone must sacrifice himself. When it is time to sacrifice, he must accept his fate. This is the real soldier.
"Uncle Yang, I live less and less down-to-earth, as if I were living in a dream." Ge Zhen raised his head and drank the wine in his glass of wine, and sighed: "When I was in the Second Squadron, I felt that I was real, and now I feel that I am increasingly unreal."
This is his feeling. Since leaving the Second Squadron, his world has entered a space that he had never imagined before.
A normal society is realistic. The world where Ge Zhen is now is something that many people cannot see, and it feels unrealistic at all.
"The real society must be supported by a group of people living in the darkness of unrealistic. Such people may never return in their lifetime." Lao Yang nodded and said, "After time, these people do not know what their existence means, so they have to go back to reality and take a look."
This is an inevitable problem, such as Ge Zhen, Long Xiaoqi, and Xiao Yuanchao. What they do every day is to deal with various national security issues. They are always in this environment all year round and they always feel unreal.
This is because they were originally living in a normal world, a normal world, a normal life, and a normal society told them that this is the truth.
Over time, you will have doubts, after all, ordinary people can't see their battles.
"I have to take a look, I have to walk around," Ge Zhen sighed.
"Look at how the people of our country live, and see how our country's construction is... Perhaps this will make you more determined and believe in what you do." Lao Yang said: "It only takes four hours to train from Beijing to Shanghai. Do you know?"
"Four hours train? Who are you hindering?" Ge Zhen curled his lips.
"I will only know after sitting down." Lao Yang said to Ge Zhen while pouring wine: "Now, if you have money or not, you are thinking about how to eat the next meal, because you are tired of all the delicious food, haha. In the era of national entertainment, because you need entertainment when you are idle, this is our current motherland. Reform and opening up has only been thirty or forty years."
The change is too big. Ge Zhen can still remember the shock of the "10,000 yuan household" when he was a child, but what is the current ten thousand yuan household?
"As long as the country is prosperous and the people are safe, people like us are willing." Ge Zhen smiled: "Someone has to carry the burden and sacrifice everything."
"When you come back, just have a good walk. You are also human, you are all human, you have to tell yourself an answer-"
“What’s the answer?”
"Is it worth it or not!"
“…”
This is the question that every soldier has to face and the answer that he is looking for. Is all his efforts worth it or not?
Worldview, values, outlook on life... everyone has it, including soldiers.
Why do soldiers have to defend their country and protect the dim lights of thousands of families of players? It is not because the name given to them is "Soldier", but because they believe that all their efforts and sacrifices are worth it.
Is it great? No, boring or ordinary is the true meaning of war.
